    Okay, so you don't automatically get a ThinkPad Reserve notebook just by entering to watch ThinkLive, but you do have the chance to win one by registering.

    See the description of the event here: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=175407

    I'll be down in North Carolina at Lenovo head quarters for this event where we'll take a look back at 15-years of ThinkPads, would love to see y'all there too. It'd be great if somebody in this forum won the Reserve. That's $5,000 worth of laptop :eek:

    It's 2:53pm and I'm not getting "Event will begin momentarily" anymore, but just a blue screen. Can anyone see the webcast yet?

    I'm just getting the blue screen now as well. BSOD haha. Anyways, I thought maybe it was Media Player being screwy so I installed Real Player and I have the same problem. You'd think they could at least update the site to tell us they are having problems.

    They're just not ready yet. I have the BSOD too. They're getting closer, maybe.

    Typical of Lenovo. Get ya all excited for something and then they keep pushing it off. It'll probably start in another 2 weeks. ;)

    I got the same thing. I waited until 2:20 and finally gave up. Hopefully it was recorded and they'll do replays.

    I tried to watch it via firefox, when Real Players kicks in, the aero mode is turned off.

    Anyone have any idea why?
